Product Description

Iguratimod (T614; T-614) is a 4H-1-benzopyran-based antirheumatic agent acting as a novel and potent nhibitor of COX-2 (IC50 = 20 μM) with no effect on COX-1. It also inhibits macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) with an IC50 of 6.81 μM.

Targets

COX-2:20 μM (IC50)

MIF:6.81 μM (IC50)

ln Vitro
Iguratimod (T-614) is an antirheumatic medication that inhibits COX-2 with an IC50 of 20 μM (7.7 μg/mL) but does not affect COX-1. Iguratimod (0.1–10 μg/mL) reduces bradykinin-induced PGE2 release from fibroblasts. Iguratimod suppresses COX activity in bradykinin-stimulated fibroblasts in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 48 μg/mL). Iguratimod (10 and 30 μg/mL) suppresses COX-2 mRNA in a dose-dependent manner [1]. Furthermore, Iguratimod significantly suppresses macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) with an IC50 of 6.81 μM. In vitro, iguratimod interacts synergistically with glucocorticoids [3].
ln Vivo
In a dose-dependent manner, iguratimod (5 or 20 mg/kg) exhibited analgesic effects and markedly raised the rats' left hindpaw's pain threshold. The rise in pERK1/2 and c-Fos in the spinal cord brought on by cancer cell injection is decreased by iguratimod (5 or 20 mg/kg). In rats, iguratimod similarly decreased IL-6 levels in a dose-dependent manner. Rats treated with Iguratimod have decreased osteoclast activity compared to the control group [2]. It has been demonstrated that iguratimod (20 mg/kg ip) considerably increases the survival of endotoxemia-prone BALB/c mice and reduces isolated TNFα release in the serum of wild-type C57BL/6 mice 90 minutes after LPS injection [3].
Cell Assay
Briefly, human Raji B cells are plated at a density of 0.5 × 104 cells/well in a 96-well plate and synchronized by incubation for 24 h in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 0.1-0.5% FBS. Synchronized cells are pretreated with Iguratimod or vehicle for 30 min prior to stimulation with macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) for 24 h. At 20 h BrdU is added to cells and quantified using a BrdU Cell proliferation assay kit[3].
Animal Protocol
Mice[3] Endotoxemia is induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS from E. coli O111:B4. In BALB/c animals, 5 mg/kg LPS is used as a lethal dose for survival experiments; animals are treated with Iguratimod (20 mg/kg i.p.) 0.5 h prior to LPS, 6 h after LPS, and then once daily for 3 days and monitored for survival over 2 weeks. In C57BL/6 animals, 20 mg/kg LPS is used as non-lethal dose for plasma cytokine experiments; animals are pretreated with Iguratimod (20 mg/kg i.p.) twice, one dose each at 2 and 0.5 h prior to LPS administration, and euthanized at 90 min post-LPS by CO2 asphyxiation with cervical dislocation. Blood is collected by cardiac puncture and allowed to clot 20 min at room temperature and 20 min at 4°C; sera are isolated by centrifugation at 300 × g for 10 min and stored at 20°C for further analysis by TNFα ELISA (1:3 dilution)[3].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~33.33 mg/mL (~89.03 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (6.68 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

10 mM 0.2671 mL 1.3356 mL 2.6712 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
